Answer:

filiform papillae

Explanation:

The filiform papillae, also called conical papillae, are sensory receptors distributed on two thirds of the lingual dorsum. They are the most abundant papillae on the surface of the tongue and are not associated with taste reception because they have the smallest number of taste receptors.

These papillae are arranged fairly evenly in rows parallel to the central groove of the tongue, especially in the center and back. These papillae are made up of connective tissue and an epithelium that expresses keratin, a protein present in people's skin, hair and nails.

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

Well when natural selection occurs, genes that don't benefit the speicies, or more accurately, harm it by ruining camoflague. Natural selection can result in one creature evolving into 3 different species when those creatures get put into different environments that promote genetic mutations that help them survive. After a long while of genetic mutations coming and going to adapt to their environment, those three members of the species are no longer the same species because they've all adapted to different environments.

Endoplasmic reticulum serves as transpiration area. The correct option is B.

<h3>What is endoplasmic reticulum?</h3>

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large, dynamic structure in the cell that performs numerous functions such as calcium storage, protein synthesis, and lipid metabolism.

The ER's various functions are carried out by distinct domains, which include tubules, sheets, and the nuclear envelope.

The endoplasmic reticulum can be smooth or rough, and its function is generally to produce proteins that allow the rest of the cell to function.

Ribosomes, which are small, round organelles that make proteins, are found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Thus, the correct option is B.
